Kanye West had a tough 2022 year. The critically-acclaimed rapper was canceled for anti-Semitic rants by his several endorsements, including Adidas, Balenciaga, and J.P. Morgan Chase.

Meanwhile, J.P. Morgan Chase reportedly faces allegations of catering to the child trafficking ring of now-deceased Jeffrey Epstein.

The ex-JPM&C executive Jes Staley allegedly boasted more than 1,000 sexually explicit emails revealed linked to Epstein. The former CEO of Barclays also reportedly exchanged sexually suggestive emails, including photos of young women.

In other pieces of news, West turned to authorities to seek an end to what he believed a nuisance: the paparazzi's constant tailing of him.

The once-celebrated musician was infamous for spazzing out with paps for invading his privacy.

He was recently spotted on the way to L.A. County Sheriff's West Hollywood police station, according to TMZ.

The insider spills the beans about a complaint the father-of-four took to the station about an argument with the photographer.

The 45-year-old added that he nearly got into a scuffle with paps after he told them not to film him and his family on Tuesday.
